Question 550880: I need to pack round objects into a rectangular box. The box is a fixed length of 20" and fixed width of 10". If the part is a round cylinder of 3.5" diameter, how many can I get in the box? If the part is 4.5", how many can I get in the box? I'm really asking: "What is the formula to determine this?"

You can put this solution on YOUR website! need to pack round objects into a rectangular box.
The box is a fixed length of 20" and fixed width of 10".
If the part is a round cylinder of 3.5" diameter, how many can I get in the box? If the part is 4.5", how many can I get in the box?
:
Assuming you mean the cylinder has 3.5" diameter and is 4.5" long
Each part will occupy a rectangular area 3.5 by 4.5
If you place two rows of 5, side by side, a total of 10 can be placed in the box
